Saints vs. Colts Scoring Props

Among the most popular 2010 Super Bowl prop bets will be the Saints vs. Colts scoring props.  Most people believe this will be an explosive offensive showdown and the total has risen to the highest of any Super Bowl at OVER/UNDER 57 at SBG Global Thursday, though now it is back down to 56 1/2.

Among the great Saints vs. Colts scoring props:

Team to score first in the game.  The Saints pay $12 for every $10 bet.

Team to score last pays even odds on New Orleans.

Team to have the longest touchdown score has the Saints paying $11 for every $10 bet.

Team to score 1st in the second quarter pays even odds for New Orleans.
Will there be a score in the first 7 minutes and 30 seconds of the game pays $20 on the NO.

Will a special teams or defensive touchdown be scored?

Scoring margin of victory odds are always popular as well. 

Select your Saints vs. Colts scoring props wisely as the defenses on both teams are more than capable of making stops (even with Indianapolis' Dwight Freeney not at 100 percent).

The Colts allowed 19.2 points per game during the regular season, which ranked eighth in the league, and 212.7 passing yards, which ranked 14th.

"I also think our defense is more designed now to handle situations like this because of the way we play,'' Freeney said. "We have different blitzes, we change coverages. We do a lot of things now to disguise things. It's not necessarily so much burden on particular players. Now we can do some things with coverages and things of that nature to cover that.''

Freeney added that if he can't play, he has confidence in his teammates. And if the defense continues to get overlooked, that is fine with Session.

"That is what offense is for,'' Session said. "Offense scores points, so they are allowed to get recognition and all that stuff. That is what their job is. Our job is to win championships and stop people from scoring. We don't need anybody touting us. We just want to get our job done.''
